<--- This is another picture my daughter made on her iPad. It's another cutie, I reckon. ;)

Well, the first day of the school holidays went well.

We went for a lovely walk by the river in the morning. It was a little cold, but once we got a nice pace going it wasn't too bad. When we got home, I managed to finish the book I was reading before lunch. I even wrote a review for it, which you can find below.

It's so good to get back into reading. I haven't read anything--well, except for my own stories--for almost a month! Which is way too long.

I'm reading DEAD TIME by Anne Cassidy now. I knew nothing about this book, until I received it from Bloomsbury. I've read the first two chapters, and I have to admit that I'm intrigued.

Today, my daughter wants me to help her make an alternate cover for a book she read at school using Adobe Photoshop. It should be fun. We'll see how it turns out. Nice, I hope. I'm no expert on Photoshop, but I can make basic covers and graphics. And it's a lot of fun!

As far as writing goes, I'm enjoying a bit of a break from thinking about stuff. Oh, okay, I'm still totally thinking about Sierra's world because I really can't shake it, but at least it's all simmering in the back of my head. Instead of pounding inside my brain until I get it all out of there. :) I have to admit that I'm looking forward to going back there for two more books...

Did you all watch TRUE BLOOD? I enjoyed the latest ep, even if a lot of the time I'm still feeling a little WTF? about everything that's going on. The story's distanced itself so far from the Sookie Stackhouse books, that I really don't know what to expect. It's also kinda sad that everyone hates Sookie right now. Oh well, Alcide doesn't. ;) I secretly always wanted Sookie and Alcide to get together in the books, so maybe they will here... Who knows where this season is going? But apparently, there's going to be a sixth one!
